Crate inherface

A network interface can represent physical network devices such as ethernet or wireless. It can also be a virtual representation.

The operating system maintains records of available network interfaces and the data associated with them. This project gets the data and structures it as standard rust data types.

Structs

NetworkInterface

A system’s network interface

V4IfAddr

IPV4 Interface from the AFINET network interface family

V6IfAddr

IPV6 Interface from the AFINET6 network interface family

Enums

Error

Errors for this library

Functions

get_interfaces

Maps the raw data from libc linked list nodes into rust data types and joins the separate chunks of interface data into single NetworkInterfaces.

Type Aliases

Netmask

An alias for an Option that wraps either a Ipv4Addr or a Ipv6Addr representing the IP for a Network Interface netmask

Result

Wraps standard library Result with custom Error enum
